I never should have gone through them all. Very boring and not funny at all.

 Or if it caught you having sex or watching porn and there were ads for Viagra!

Oh the possibilities!

  64bit Windows XP was very VERY poor compared to the 64bit flavours of Vista and Windows 7. One of the primary reasons is a great lack of driver support. And don't bother trying to use Vista or Win7 64bit drivers in XP.

You can keep using your XP as long as you want, but when new hardware comes out that takes advantage of features found only in Windows 7, and when drivers stop being produced for XP or XP goes on to legacy support, with updates once every 6mo or a year, I'm sure you'll be singing a different tune. One of the major reasons to move on to Windows 7 (when you're ready to do so. ie getting a new rig) is support for new hardware. With Windows 7, you can set up a nice RAID array and it'll work out of the box. You can install Windows 7 on a brand new machine and I guarentee you that the amount of extra drivers to install will be very minimal compared to XP. If you were to take a brand new Corei7 or PhenomII based system, with SLI or Crossfire, RAID1, Blu-Ray playback, and USB 3.0, you'll have a lot of drivers to install just to get everything working nicely. And it'll only get worse as the years go on. XP is almost a decade old. Heck, most people replace their cars by now, and a car costs a lot more than a $200 operating system.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amatures build the arkl professionals build the Titanic!

 Intel makes CRAP integrated graphics cards. CRAPPITY CRAP CRAP! If you want a decent IGP, go with an ATI, or nVidia. They know how to make graphics adapters. If you have an Intel IGP in your laptop, good luck playing any sort of game with decent visual settings!

 I wonder how these would sound with an included sub. Maybe if Logitech dropped the price by about $40 and then made another set with a sub for the $130 I'd consider it.

 I would be quite excited to see the PADD come to life. However, for it to become practical and useful during all times of the day regardless of where you are, a world wide wireless network would have to be implimented, and I don't see that happening any time soon...

 Every 2-3 years? All the software and hardware that is "Vista Ready" works just fine with Windows 7. The previous Windows release was almost a decade ago! And what thumbnail bugs? I've not heard or read of any. Just the issues with iTunes. But then again, iTunes is a crap app to begin with.

Apple releases a new "OS" (If you can really call it a new OS) every few years. Basically a really expensive service pack. Various Linux distros release new "OS" every few MONTHS (Look at Ubuntu. 2 per year).

In a week, the market share that Windows 7 has taken is over half of what Apple has... Thats impressive IMO.
